In The Blue Road: A Fable of Migration\, acclaimed poet and prose writer Wayde Compton and illustrator April dela Noche Milne’s graphic novel debut\, a young migrant girl embarks on a treacherous journey only to discover that leaving\, arriving and returning are all just different words for the same thing: starting over. Lacuna is a girl without a family\, a past\, or a proper home. She lives alone in a swamp made of ink\, but with the help of Polaris\, a will-o’-the-wisp\, she embarks for the fabled Northern Kingdom\, where she might find people like her. A tender and timely graphic novel for readers of all ages\, The Blue Road explores the world from a migrant’s perspective with dreamlike wonder. \nWayde Compton is the author of two books of poetry\, 49th Parallel Psalm (Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize finalist) and Performance Bond. He also edited the anthology Bluesprint: Black British Columbian Literature and Orature. His non-fiction book After Canaan: Essays on Race\, Writing\, and Region was shortlisted for the City of Vancouver Book Award\, and his first work of fiction\, The Outer Harbour\, won the City of Vancouver Book Award. Wayde is the former director of the Writer’s Studio and the Southbank Writer’s Program at Simon Fraser University Continuing Studies. He currently teaches in the faculty of Creative Writing at Douglas College. He lives in Vancouver. \nApril dela Noche Milne is a Filipino Canadian artist based in Vancouver.
